Elton John's song "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" has become something of a prayer for me, after a day when I climbed into bed not doing what I wanted to. Life's too short to live this way!

Jude ends his letter with a famous benediction that many churches still use to close their services: "Now unto Him who is able to keep you from falling… be glory and majesty, dominion and power…" Great words reminding us that when we stay worshipful, the rest falls into place.

Jude's letter is known as the "Acts of the Apostates". He was deeply concerned about his people being led astray by teachers who were not truly committed to God. A story from AM Hills reminds us of the call to stay faithful today.

Kindness is difficult to give away, because it keeps coming back to you! The more you show, the more is shown to you. Let's be generous in our kindness, as God is with His. Thanks Derek for a great week of devos!

Billy Graham once said that we receive with our left hands and give with our right. Are we generous with our giving? Another story from Derek challenges us in this regard today.

It takes a conscious act of willing obedience for us to practise forgiveness. Derek shares a story about a little boy and ice cream to show this in today's devotion.

God love us just as we are, as he calls us to give our love away. Another story from Derek illustrates this today.
